NECKTIE FASTENING.

Application filed July 24,

This invention relates to improvements in neckties, particularly in themeans for holding such ties on the collars, and it is the principalobject of my invention to provide a holder or hanger for neckties of theso called ready-made type, either bows or elongated ties, allowing aready attachment to a collar, ensuring a firm hold on the same and aconvenient and quick removal therefrom.

Another object of my invention is to pro vide a necktie holder or hangerof novel and improved, extremely simple and inexpensive construction,detracting nothing from the pleasing appearance of the tie, yet beingdurable and eflicient, as well as positive in its operation.

A further ob ect of the invention is the provision of a necktie holderor hanger equipped with a clamping means for allowing a convenientoperation of the attachment and detachment of the ties by this means.

A still further object of the invention is the provision of a necktieholder or hanger which may readily be attached to any make of necktie ofthe ready-made bow or hanger type now on the market withoutnecessitating vital and expensive changes, and which may e ually well beused for the attachment 0 such neckties to stiff, semi-soft and softcollars.

The necktie holder or hanger according to my invention allowsfurthermore, a securing of the tie independently of the collar buttonand to collars of any height, as the clamp thereof firmly grips over theupper edges of the overlap ixhg collar flaps, and thus, by grippingbotli aps gives an additional hold to the same ensuring at all times agood and orderly appearance. Another advantage of my improved necktieholder and hanger is to be seen in the fact that it pressesthe sidewings customarily used with ready-made ties, snugly against the upperinner collar edge and ensures thus at all times a pleasing appearanceand uniform fit for the ties on the collars.

These and other objects and advantages of my invention will become morefully a parent as the description thereof procee s, and will then bemore specifically defined in the ap ended claims.

In t e accom an ing drawing, forming a material part 0 this disclosure:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a necktie 1926. Serial No. 124,709.

of the bow type cruipped with a holder or hanger constructed accordingto my invention. y

Fig. 2 is a cross-section on line 2-2 of Figure l.

Fig. 3 is a detail view of the necktieholder per sc. Fig. 4 is a rearview of a necktie of the elongated hanger type equipped with a holder orhanger constructed according to my invention.

The necktie-holder or hanger constructed according to my invention, asillustrated on the drawings, comprises a base or body plate 10 having atongue or lip 11 formed there with and bent out of the plane of theplate 10, as indicated at 12.

The upper edge of the plate, to both sides of the tongue 11 is formed asspring hingemembers 13 and 14:, to the common pintle, of which, 15,between the members 13 and 1 1, a stem 16 is secured, having a wing 17formed at its outer end, while a wart 18 engages the tongue 11 to pressthe same forward or release the tongue, as the case may be, if thenecktie is to be attached to a collar or removed therefrom. At the rearof the necktie, the wing 17 has a rounded protuberance or lip 19 or thelike formed therewith, to allow. a gripping by the fingers in order tofacilitate the operation of the holder-wing.

The holder plate is secured to the necktie fabric at the rear thereof,as indicated for mstance at 20, so that it cannot be observed from thefront, and preferably somewhat below the upper edge of the necktie, sothat it cannot be observed from the front and presses against thecustomary necktie wing 21 of the tie 22.

In Figure 4 I have illustrated the application of my improved necktieholder and hanger to a tie of the readyanade type and elongated hangerconstruction. The con struction of the holder shown in this figure isgenerally the same as that described with respect to the bow type.

The operation of my device will be en tirely clear from the abovedescription. The plate 10 is securely fastened to the tie by sewing etc.so that it is not visible from the front thereof. If it is now desiredto secure the necktie in position on a collar, the wing part 17 or theholder is turned around its hinges to engage behind the collar so thatits bent part 16 will tightly grip over the upper overlapping collaredges and hold the parts firmly together. A removal of the tie isreadily effected by simply gripping; the lip 19 with the finger andturning the wing part 17 of the holder towards the front to disengagepartldtrom the upper collar edges.

It is to be understood, that while I have shown and described thepreferred form of my invention as one example of the many waysin whichthe same may be practically constructed, such changes as come within thescope of the appended claims may be made in the general constructionandin the minor details of the invention without departure from the gistthereof.

Having thus described my invention, what I elaim'as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is:

i 1. Necktie holder or hanger comprising a base, a tongue stamped fromthe material of said base and projecting out of the plane thereof," ameans hinged to said base and adapted to grip over the upper edge of acollar, and a means for facilitating its removal therefrom.

2. Necktie holder or hanger comprising a base adapted to b2 attached tosaid base iii-- visibly, a tongue termed with said base and bent at itsupper end out of the plane there of, hinges formed at the upper edge ofsaid plate, a Clilll'l])ilij member attached to said hinges and adaptedto grip over the upper collar edges, and a means for facilitating itsdisengagement therefrom.

3. Necktie holder or hanger for ties of the ready-to-wear typecomprising a ba:-:e cured to the material of the tie imisible from thefront, a tongue vertiealtv formed from the material of the base, theupper edge of said tongue bent out of the plane of said base, a wing, astem connecting; said wing to said. base, a wart on said stem engagingsaid tongue, hinges for connecting said stem to said base, and a,projection on the central upper edge of said wing to tacilh tate theremoval of the tie from a collar.
